Together with our customers, we help create the automobiles of tomorrow. Sika aftermarket solutions have been driving the automotive industry worldwide for more than 30 years. Our intelligent products combine state-of-the-art technology with user-oriented application properties that make it easy to get started right away. THE LEADING BRAND FOR WINDSCREEN ADHESIVES Since the early 1980s, Sika has been a series supplier and development partner to the automotive OEM industry. The knowledge we have acquired throughout this partnership also flows into the products we offer for the automotive aftermarket business. Over the years we have continuously strengthened our expertise and have become the leading brand for windscreen adhesives. Based on our competencies as a leading OEM supplier, we provide a comprehensive portfolio for sealing and bonding, noise damping and protective coating applications in the car body repair market. Innovation, performance, reliability and ease of use make Sika products the number one choice for automotive glass and body shop professionals all around the world. TRUST A POWERFUL GROUP Sika is a Swiss-based specialty chemicals company with more than 100 years of experience. For Sika, innovation has always been the driving force in its quest to become the global market leader. It all began 25 years ago, when we started supplying BMW with the black primerless adhesive system. Over the years we went on to develop relationships with almost all international vehicle manufacturers. Sika products are used in 50% of all vehicles produced. Sika is a global player, but is completely focused on having people in the market who speak the local language and who know about your business. We currently operate in 93 countries. At the time of writing, more than 300 MILLION windscreens have been replaced using Sika adhesives Over 30 MILLION headlights, sunroofs and spoilers are bonded using Sika adhesives every year 1 OUT OF 3 windscreens worldwide is replaced using Sika adhesive Local Sika presence in over 93 countries 50% of vehicles produced worldwide use Sika technology Sika technology saves 80 MILLION litres of fuel annually (240 million kg of CO 2 ) Sika supplies more than 400 MILLION acoustic damping parts per year 2 LEADING SOLUTIONS

3 CUSTOMER SAFETY IS OUR MISSION At Sika we work closely with the automotive industry and provide solutions for producing more comfortable, safer and quieter cars. Today s vehicles are reinforced by the combination of bonding technology with the use of high-strength steel and other materials. Using adhesive technology to create additional body stiffening has become standard practice with the bonded windscreen; today, automotive engineers are using bonding solutions as an essential component for improving body stiffness and behavior in car accidents. Adhesive systems from Sika combine ease-of-use and reliability, and ensure that a repaired vehicle meets the same standards as a new one. This really makes the difference and guarantees the highest safety standards for every one of your repair jobs.

4 OEM COMPETENCE Sika is at the cutting edge of technology for lightweight vehicle manufacturing THERE ARE CURRENTLY SOME ONE BILLION REGISTERED PASSENGER VEHICLES, AND THE NUMBER IS GROWING EVERY YEAR. CONSEQUENTLY, AND DUE TO THE CHALLENGES POSED BY RESOURCE SCARCITY, RISING ENERGY CONSUMPTION, AND INCREASING CO 2 EMISSIONS MORE EFFICIENT VEHICLES WILL CLEARLY BE NEEDED IN THE FUTURE. AND IN THIS RESPECT, THERE IS ONE CRUCIAL FACTOR. WHILE A FEW GRAMS OF CO 2 OR A LITTLE MATERIAL OR ENERGY SAVED BY SHAVING A FEW KILOGRAMS OFF ONE VEHICLE S WEIGHT MAY SEEM MODEST, THE RESULTS ARE SIGNIFICANT OVER THE MILLIONS OF NEW CARS THAT ARE MANUFACTURED EVERY YEAR. EVEN SMALL IMPROVEMENTS CAN ADD UP QUICKLY. Traditional material fastening methods, such as rivets, screws, and welding techniques like spot welding, are being replaced or supplemented by adhesive bonding methods that are not just ultra-high strength, but also remain elastic. These adhesives must not only adhere equally well to different materials, but also compensate for their different expansion characteristics while also maintaining just the right amount of stiffness and providing optimum handling. Sika s adhesive technologies and products point the way toward high-performance lightweight construction and represent a substantial contribution to sustainable mobility. 4 OEM COMPETENCE

5 RANGE ROVER SPORT THE FASTEST, MOST AGILE AND RESPONSIVE LAND ROVER EVER The all-new Range Rover Sport has been completely redesigned from ground up. Land Rover has created a new milestone in automotive design. Sika's innovative adhesive technologies play a key role in increasing vehicle safety. SikaPower adhesive is used to bond areas that are subject to high mechanical load. Since the adhesive enables the body construction to absorb more energy, it enhances safety in a crash situation. The Sika products in the Range Rover Sport play an important role in enhancing the vehicle s crash performance and resistance. They also improve the levels of comfort and durability, increase overall safety and make a major contribution to its lightweight design. BMW i3 A NEW STANDARD IN LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTION Ultra-high modulus (UHM) Sikaflex adhesives are a new development with which Sika is responding at an early stage to the increasingly wide range of materials being used in automotive design. They enable quick bonding processes with multi-material combinations, while guaranteeing that components remain durably functional. Sikaflex UHM adhesives are unique within the industry. They are suitable for both fully automated adhesive application on the assembly line as well as manual application. The pioneering all-electric BMW i3 is the showcase for the new Sikaflex UHM adhesive technology. MERCEDES S CLASS THE BONDED FUTURE The Mercedes S Class features the latest generation of modular construction using a wide variety of material combinations. The car body is based on a mix of aluminium and high-strength steels. Special bonding techniques and sealants are needed to optimize safety, vibration characteristics, and acoustics. A wide range of Sika solutions are used in the new S Class: Sikaflex UHM adhesives for bonding the lightweight aluminium roof to the steel car body and for enhancing overall vehicle stiffness, together with ultra-elastic adhesives for invisible bonding of the roof-stiffening panel. Sikaflex adhesive is also used for the direct glazing. Expanding SikaReinforcer frame stiffening components and SikaPower structural adhesives ensure optimum NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) characteristics. OEM COMPETENCE 5

8 8 POWERCURE

9 PERFORM WITH THE ULTIMATE TECHNOLOGY PowerCure is the latest technology for accelerated curing adhesives. For the first time here, Sika is taking a total solution approach. We believe reaching the next level of technology is only possible if the system reflects the reality an automotive glass technician has to deal with every day. PowerCure has been developed together with automotive glass technicians from the very beginning; it is designed for both mobile and shop environments and has proven its reliability under the harshest conditions. PowerCure adhesives reach a new level of performance at an unmatched level of comfort. For the first time here, we have developed a total solution for vehicle glass replacement, and this has allowed us to question each little step, from mounting a unipack to the actual extrusion of the adhesive. The PowerCure system is probably the first ever to be developed together with automotive glass professionals from the very beginning. Simple as a one-component Minimized waste, maximized yield of adhesive Ergonomic design Fastest unit replacement on the market Long working time but quick curing

10 CURED TO OEM LEVEL Sika s PowerCure adhesives allow a car to be lifted by its windscreen in as little as 60 minutes. This is what we understand practically by adhesives which are cured to OEM level. 10

11 PERFORMANCE BEYOND SDAT Having just a short Safe Drive-Away Time (SDAT) is not the definition of a safe system! Vehicle manufacturers apply stricter standards for releasing a vehicle back into operation than the average automotive glass shop. Up until now, no system has been able to reach car manufacturers (OEM) performance requirements quickly enough and easily enough to be used by independent automotive glass companies. PowerCure ADHESIVES ARE DIFFERENT! CURED TO OEM LEVEL PowerCure adhesives cure independently of the climate from the inside of the bead. They cure within minutes to the strength level specified by vehicle manufacturers. PowerCure adhesives reinforce the car s body structure to the original level within just 60 minutes, whereas one-component products can require up to several weeks depending on the climate. Rapid deployment of structural integrity is one of the key reasons why some vehicle manufacturers require their service centers to use accelerated or two-component adhesives. There are further benefits to using PowerCure adhesives too: comebacks can be repaired quickly without risk of soiling car interiors sensors can be calibrated quickly and without any concerns insurance and subcontracted work will meet all OEM standards and you could even lift a vehicle by the windscreen just 60 minutes after installation. ADHESIVE FOR VEHICLE GLASS REPLACEMENT Product SikaTack ELITE designed for PowerCure Technology Accelerated polyurethane adhesive Safe Drive-Away Time (SDAT) 30 min SDAT temperature conditions 10 C to 40 C Cured to OEM level 60 min Open time (23 C/50% r.h.) 10 min Application temperature Cold-applied All-in-one modulus ü PERFORMANCE BEYOND SDAT 11

12 THE HIGHEST PRECISION IN YOUR HANDS The PowerCure adhesive system delivers the precision and performance of high-end pump systems found at vehicle manufacturer s production lines. It combines high flexibility, ergonomic and easy handling, and minimizes waste in a clear and focused design. The use of a single, brushless motor mechanically couples extrusion, dosing and dynamic mixing, and allows controlling of extrusion speed on the go without compromise. Providing the fastest curing adhesives at unmatched comfort level, PowerCure is the total solution for smaller sealing and bonding applications. PACKAGING MIXER Based on the unipack: PowerCure packaging is based on the unipack, the most efficient packaging solution for windscreen adhesives. The packaging is designed to minimize wastage and to allow very simple mounting and replacement. Dynamic and efficient: The mixer is designed to fit an ordinary application nozzle. The specially shaped v-cut supports the application of the adhesive at a convenient angle to the glass and cuts material consumption by up to 8%. 12 THE HIGHEST PRECISION IN YOUR HANDS

13 «FROM THE VERY BEGINNING WE ANALYZED WORKING AND HANDLING PROCEDURES OF APPLICATORS IN THE FIELD. EVERY LITTLE STEP WAS QUESTIONED AND CONSTANTLY CHALLENGED. WE AIMED TO MAKE USING PowerCure AS SIMPLE AS USING A SINGLE COMPONENT PRODUCT. IN MANY ASPECTS IT S EVEN SIMPLER AND FASTER.» David Tobler, Head Automotive Aftermarket PowerCure DISPENSER Single motor design: The PowerCure Dispenser matches the precision of pump and dosing systems found on vehicle manufacturers production lines. The use of a single, brush-less motor mechanically couples extrusion, dosing and dynamic mixing. This allows users to control extrusion speed on the go without compromise. *Registered Contractors only are permitted buy the Powercure Gun THE HIGHEST PRECISION IN YOUR HANDS 13

61 CONTAMINATION REMOVAL In general, Sika Cleaner G+P is ideal for removing traditional forms of surface contamination such as dirt, dust and skin oils that are commonly found on automotive glass parts. However, it has been Sika s experience that many parts contain so-called non- traditional contaminants that require additional treatment. The nature and quantity of such non-traditional contaminants can vary significantly. Generally, the source of this contamination is the manufacturing process itself. Mould release agents associated with encapsuled parts (where trim is bonded to the part) Silicone residue from a vacuum tube laminating process which is used for the lamination process of laminated safety glass Recommended Procedure 500 ml Sika Cleanglass 1 st step: Wet glass 2 nd step: Check contamination 3 rd step: Use fresh unit Sika Cleaner PCA. Start cleaning ceramic frit 4 th step: Immediate detection of removal effect visible 5 th step: Dry with paper towel CONTAMINATION REMOVAL 61

62 BONDING PLASTIC WINDSCREENS (PMMA AND PC) Plastic windscreens can be found on vehicles such as: Construction machines Special purpose vehicles (police, army, etc.) Lightweight construction vehicles Roof modules on some vehicles Typical materials used are PMMA (polymethacrylate) and PC (polycarbonate). In the manufacturing process, many polycarbonate sheets are coated with a scratch-resistant surface. Unlike standard float glass, plastic windscreens have a much higher thermal expansion coefficient, resulting in greater movement (expansion and contraction of the window). In addition, plastic windscreens do not have ceramic coating on the glass, nor any other integrated UV protection for the bond line. For these reasons, the following procedures must be followed when bonding plastic windscreens. Permanent glazing If the coating is unknown, it is recommended to test the surface before bonding (contact Sika for support); otherwise, use the following procedure: Step 1 Abrade the bonding area with an abrasive pad Remove scratch-resistant coating on the bonding area (e.g. from sia Abrasives) or sand paper Step 2 Remove dust and clean surface with Sika Cleaner G+P Clean surface from dust Step 3 Apply Sika Primer-207, flash off for 10 minutes Create suitable surface for bonding Step 4 Apply Sikaflex Layer thickness as per table below Bonding Adhesive Thickness LARGEST WINDSCREEN LENGTH TRIANGULAR BEAD REQUIRED ADHESIVE BEAD DIMENSION* L H D B B L (m) H (mm) B (mm) D (mm) B (mm) Over 2.0 Meter contact Sika * important: confirm to minimal adhesives thickness, D. UV protection To ensure a durable bond, the bond line of transparent windscreens must be protected against UV light. Possible solutions are: Suitable print color Protective metal or opaque plastic trims Sika UV Shielding Tape Without UV protection, Sika Primer-207 will eventually wear off on the plastic windscreen. The exact point at which this will result in a failure depends largely on the weather, the quality of the synthetic material and the general load. 62 BONDING PLASTIC WINDSCREENS (PMMA AND PC)

64 APPLICATION TIPS PROCEDURE Bonding surfaces must be clean, dry and free of oil and grease. If necessary, sand bonding surfaces with a scouring pad and remove the dust. Remove heavy soiling with Sika Remover-208 or Sika Cleaner P. See the primer chart for more information If necessary (see primer chart), wipe bonding surfaces with a clean, lint-free paper tissue moistened with an activator (Sika Aktivator-100, Sika Aktivator-205 or Sika ADPrep). Observe the corresponding curing time If necessary (see primer chart), apply primer to bonding surfaces with a brush, wool felt applicator or foam applicator. Observe the corresponding curing time When bonding with non-sag products, apply the adhesive as a triangular bead. Cut the nozzle according to the printed scale and hold the gun perpendicular while applying. With twocomponent products, use a static mixer and apply the adhesive in dots or as a bead. Observe the minimum layer thickness and use spacers as needed Position and press both plates so that they adhere to one another. If necessary, fix the component and leave it to polymerise. Respect handling time Use a scraper and Sika Remover-208 to remove any excess uncured adhesive. Other cleaners may interfere with the curing process THINGS TO OBSERVE FOR APPLICATION WORKING WITH A MATCHED SYSTEM Using a matched system of pre-treatment agents and adhesives is recommended in order to ensure easy application of the products and trouble-free bonding. NO ALCOHOL ON UNCURED ADHESIVE Once the adhesive has been applied, avoid contact between the freshly applied adhesive and products containing alcohol until a skin has formed. Alcohol disrupts the reaction and causes the adhesive to stay pasty or sticky instead of curing. Use Sika Remover-208 to remove adhesive residue. SILICONE ON SUBSTRATE OR ADHESIVE Skin creams and products containing silicone can degrade adhesion and lead to debonding and water ingress. GLUING OF SPACERS Gluing spacers with cyanoacrylate adhesives (super glue) can cause bonding problems in the surrounding area, leading to leaks. Self-adhesive spacers can be used without problems. Spacers should not be embedded in the adhesive bead, but should be as close as possible to the adhesive to avoid leaks. To avoid high local stresses, the hardness of the spacers should correspond to the hardness of the adhesive. The application instructions and procedure must be followed precisely to ensure durable bonded joints.

65 NOZZLE GEOMETRY Leaks and stress in the components and other problems can be eliminated by proper preparation before bonding. Cutting the adhesive nozzle correctly reduces potential sources of errors. This allows the adhesive to be applied with the right dimensions and perform properly. The adhesive should always be applied to the bonded joint in the form of a triangular bead. This ensures optimal wetting of the material by the adhesive. It also prevents gaps in the adhesive bead, insufficient compensation for the tolerances of the joined parts, and an excessively thin layer which could result in water entry. With plastics, an adhesive layer that is too thin can lead to stress cracks. With a flush bond on a flange, the height of the nozzle cut should correspond to the height of the flange. The surfaces of the joined parts are brought even by pressing (see sketches). For single-component moisture curing adhesives, the bonded joint should be no wider than 20 mm due to the longer curing time.
